Munich, Germany

Last fall my friend Stephanie and I went on an amazing adventure across Europe to Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg, and ended up in Munich, Germany for Oktoberfest!! I wrote about most of our trip last year when we got back, but then the holidays came around and things got crazy, and I never got around to writing about our time in Munich!

We had so much fun running around this beautiful city. We arrived at Marienplatz, Munich’s main square in the city center, right at noon, just in time for the Glockenspiel clock tower show. Every day the clock chimes and figurines twirl on double-decker levels telling the famous love story from Munich’s past.

Our first order of business in Munich was food, of course! Especially pretzels! :)

We had lunch at the nearby Weisses Brauhaus. This was a breaded pork chop stuffed with ham and cheese. Delicious!

For dessert we had fried apples and ice cream. SO good!!

That afternoon we went on a segway tour!!! I had never done one before, but it was SO fun!!! I would 100% do another one!! :)

We went all over Munich. I love all the gorgeous window boxes in Germany!

This one was of the neatest things we saw on the tour. People were street surfing near the English Garden!

We went by the famous Hofbrauhaus…

We had to go in and sneak a peek at the ceiling!

That night we had dinner at Augustiner Keller. The Cheesy Spätzle topped with fried onions was amazing!!

We also got a traditional pork knuckle and potato dumplings. The pork knuckle tasted like pulled pork, but more fun to eat because it’s on a huge cave-man bone! The potato dumplings were phenomenal!

Ohhh, thanks for much for taking me on a little trip to Germany via your lovely pictures! I confess, the closet I get to Germany would be the German part of Disney World ~ and I don’t even go there because my kids are too young =) Or, I pop in the Rick Steves (that dorky guy from PBS with the Fanny Pouch…..you’re not reading this Rick, are you?) And he takes me to Germany too. Love the food pics!

Love all of these photographs! I went on a Segway tour in Puerto Rico a couple of summers ago, and had so much fun! I was surprised how responsive they are when you want to speed up or slow down. It’s also a great way to see a city and get your bearings!

Beautiful pictures! I was lucky enough to be a part of a student exchange program and spent a month in Germany…it was such a beautiful country with amazing history. And the food was delicious! Your pictures brought me back, thanks!

Do you have any idea what was the name of the church were you saw the origami birds? My daughter loves making them and we’re going to travel through Europe this summer for her H.S. Graduation gift. She’d love to see this if its an ongoing display. Thanks

That food looks like it’s too die for. I’m watering at the mouth and I’m even vegan haha! Did you figure out much about cuckoo clocks while you’re there? I hear that Germany is known for them but was not sure of actually how common they are to come by in shops around there? Do you see them a lot? My brother is going in February so I am thinking of getting him to pick one up for me!

We are taking our 15 year old grand-daughter to Munch during the end of June, 2016. We, too, are looking for a centrally located hotel that is clean, possibly serving breakfast, and at a more moderate price. I’d prefer not to use some of the commercial search websites (Trip advisor, Hotels.com, booking.com, etc.) Is there a site that you may know of that is more “neutral” in its advice?
Thanks in advance for ANY help you can give us for room and board in Munich, and also if anyone can recommend any “not-to-be-missed” out-of the way spots that maybe only locals are familiar with for eating, shopping, being entertained, etc.
We are seniors and a little nervous with this being our first trip to Bavaria.

What a beautiful pictures they are!!
I am an English communication school student in Japan and I am researching about Munich, so I have some questions.
How many days do I need to go sightseeing around Munich? What do you think the most important things to see are? What area do you recommend for accommodation?
I would be glad if you could reply.

It’s amazing foods and historical building structures. i loved for visit that place. i have really dream to visit in Munich Germany near future. I am looking most famous place for visit in world among them Munich Germany is my no one list in my pocket. i love more then 100 discs delicious food as well as building structures.

We loved Munich Germany, it was our fist city before heading off on the Romantic Road. It also was the German city that got me hooked on German Beers! I would spend 4 days in Munich to really see the full city so many people just give it two days and you really cant see everything in two days. Travel On!
